"This vacuum doesn't suck!! Here's the problem! There's a hole in the hose. Instead of returning it, I'll just lemon-rig it with duct tape."
"That's a brand new car!! Are you seriously going to lemon-rig it with red fingernail polish instead of sending it back for a paint job?"
"...But I just bought these chairs and they are scratching up my floors! The end caps are cheap! The metal is poking through! I don't want to waste time sending them back; besides, I love these chairs and we have a party in two days! I'll go to the hardware store and buy some decent end caps. Why waste time when I can just lemon-rig it?"

"I'm sorry you found several hairs in your pudding, sir. Every member of my crew wears a lice trap on their head and beard. Are you sure they're not rat hairs?"

Changing one’s handedness
The act of hanging from one hand to another
Changing one’s handedness
Transdexterity was once a common practice of kindergarten teachers, when they noticed students writing with their left hand. They believed the child must adapt to the world and its inventions, such as scissors and pencil sharpeners, so they forced left handed children to write with their right hand.
The act of transdexterity was once controversial in the teaching profession. While some teachers believed they were helping naturally left-handed children fit in the world’s standards, others believed the world should adapt to the left-handed children, as they were born.

I was born left-handed, but my kindergarten teacher forced me to be transdextrous. Now I write with my right hand.
Is it considered transdextrous if I change back to my left hand, after my kindergarten teacher forced me to write with my right hand?
